Safety notes

  • The southern islands are a protected area reached only by an authorised boat or resort transfer, and they sit close to a maritime border. Arrange the trip through an operator rather than turning up.
  • Several places named as islands are reclaimed developments reached by road, with private roads and gated sections.
